SCM Alumni making impactful contributions to public health and immunisation in Pakistan!

Dr. Musa Khan, Director General, Federal Directorate of Immunization (FDI) held a constructive meeting today with the Oxford Policy Management (OPM) team.

The OPM Team comprised Dr. Mahwish Hayee, SCM Class of 2005, Principal Consultant, Health Practice, Dr. Sameer Shahid, SCM Class of 2021, Assistant Consultant, Health Practice and Dr. Aftab Khwaja, Team Lead GAVI Learning Management System (LMS).

Dr. Musa Khan, DG FDI while commending the role of OPM stated that “such strategic partnerships are significant for strengthening EPI systems. Initiatives such as the Learning Management System, CSO engagement, and HSIS technical assistance contribute significantly to building institutional capacity and ensuring sustainable programme impact.” DG FDI further highlighted the importance of aligned technical support, innovation, and partnerships in strengthening immunization systems and broader health sector outcomes in Pakistan.

We are proud to announce that Dr. Komal Atta, Director of Medical Education at UMDC, has been inducted into Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Honor Society.

What makes this achievement truly unique is that Sigma Xi traditionally honors scientists in fields like medicine, engineering, and the basic sciences. It is rare for a medical educationist—especially from South Asia—to be recognized at this level.

Dr. Komal’s induction reflects her rigorous research, pioneering leadership in EPAs and curriculum reform, and her commitment to advancing contextualized, equity-driven medical education that impacts both Pakistan and the global community.

UMDC celebrates this honor and congratulates Dr. Komal on representing Pakistan’s medical education fraternity on an international stage.

A historic achievement for Pakistan in medical education! ✨

Dr Komal Atta, SCM Class of 2010, has been awarded the Ronald Harden Innovation in Medical Education (RHIME) Award 2025, the first time it has been conferred upon Pakistan. The award comes home to UMDC, The University of Faisalabad, where Dr Atta is currently working.

The moment was made even more special as it was presented by Prof. Ronald Harden himself. A proud highlight was having VC SCM Prof. Iqbal, Prof. Fahad Azam, and Prof. Abida there to share the achievement, with Prof. Iqbal proudly announcing to the audience, “She is our alumnus!” 🇵🇰
